Role of the SENCO: an Insider's Guide
‘Gareth takes us through a year’s cycle as ‘Director of Curriculum Support’. He doesn’t only tell us what he does – and this is awe inspiring – he gives us the thinking and study behind his ‘strategic role’.
Professor Klaus Wedell
This inspirational new eBook is based on a collection of real diary entries. Written in an informal, personal style, it provides:
- an insight into what is involved in the role of SENCO (inclusion manager, director of curriculum support, etc)
- a supportive starting point for considering and dealing with some of the issues covered by the role
- practical tools and tips for adapting and sharing in your school
- a personal viewpoint throughout, to show how one SENCO is carrying out this vital role effectively and with success.

Convenient and engaging
28 January 2011'Role of the SENCO' is a very useful resource which can easily be shared with any member of staff due to its electronic format. I enjoyed the engaging day-to-day insights into the work of a SENCO, and was able to really relate to the author's experiences. It was really the convenience of the electronic format and the accompanying site licence that impressed me more than anything else - I will definitely be purchasing my resources in e-book format in future.
